Chaplain's Tid Bit

The Perfect Will of God

It's been a great summer, and we are staring down the barrel of fall. There's still plenty of good riding days though. We have the trip to Lincoln City on the 19th and 20th of September to look forward to. It should be a ton of fun, hope to see you all there. Soon our motorcycles will be put away for the season.

But let me tell you, NEVER put away your seeking Jesus and striving to know the perfect will of God (Jesus). Jesus bought us, paid for us, and saved us! For all He has done, we cannot repay Him, and He does not want us to! But what can we do? SERVE HIM! Live with Him and for Him and follow Him.

In Romans the 12th chapter 1st verse it says I beseech you there for, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

How can we do this? Well, in the very next verse Romans chapter 12 the 2nd verse it tells us. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

It is possible as we see all around us to be born again and still live like the world. There's a massive current in the world going in the wrong direction. That verse is telling you not to go in that direction with the rest of the world. But go in the direction that He leads you through his word. In Matthew the 7th chapter and 13th verse it says enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leaded to destruction, and many there be which go in there at:

Verse 14: because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which lead us unto life, and few there be that find it.

Unlike the world teaches, as a Christian we are not called to embrace all beliefs. Jesus is Lord and he says believe what he tells us in his Word. What it says above in Romans 12:2 do not catch up, renew your mind. Renewing Your Mind means to get in His Word. The holy, precious Word of truth. Read your bible, study your bible, and find out what He is revealing to each of us. That is how to renew your mind daily.

My beloved friends, family, brothers and sisters, how I love you, and pray over you always. If you have not made Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life, do it right now.

Say " Jesus please save me now. "

In second Peter 3 the 9th verse it tells us the Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us -word, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Motorcycle Riders Foundation
House Passes
Highway Bill Extension

As expected, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed legislation extending the current federal highway program, moving the deadline from September 30 to December 11, 2026. The extension, included in a continuing resolution to fund the federal government, provides Congress with additional time to negotiate and advance a long-term surface transportation reauthorization. Transportation programs will continue operating through December 11th under the measure.

For the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF), the extension means several important motorcycle priorities remain in play as Congress works toward a broader highway bill. The MRF will continue advocating for provisions addressing motorcycle profiling, the Motorcyclist Advisory Council, Right to Repair, and ensuring that advanced driver-assistance and automated vehicle technologies properly recognize and account for motorcycles.

“While extending the highway bill avoids an immediate deadline, the job is not finished,” said MRF President Kirk “Hardtail” Willard. “The next several months will be critical for ensuring that the final legislation protects the interests of America’s motorcyclists.”

The House action follows Senate passage of the continuing resolution last month. With the December 11th deadline now established, lawmakers have additional time to work toward a comprehensive, multi-year surface transportation bill. The MRF will remain engaged with members of Congress and transportation policymakers throughout the reauthorization process and will continue fighting to ensure that the nation’s motorcyclists have a seat at the table.

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) provides leadership at the federal level for states’ motorcyclists’ rights organizations as well as motorcycle clubs and individual riders. The MRF is chiefly concerned with issues at the national and international levels that impact the freedom and safety of American street motorcyclists. The MRF is committed to being a national advocate for the advancement of motorcycling and its associated lifestyle and works in conjunction with its partners to help educate elected officials and policymakers in Washington and beyond.

Motorcycle Safety & Education

Lewis County A.B.A.T.E

Motorcycle Safety and Education Program

It is a pleasure to help new drivers to be aware of motorcycles on our roadways. I have been teaching Motorcycle Safety and Awareness in Lewis, Thurston, and Mason Counties for the past 3 years. I found it to be very rewarding and a great benefit to our community to spread the word of Motorcycle safety. In my opinion, Motorcycle safety cannot be taught enough in our high schools and driving schools and to all drivers, no matter what kind of vehicle or motorcycle they drive. I hope to keep teaching new drivers whenever and wherever I can. “REMEMBER” always look before you act. It may Save A Life of a Brother, Sister or maybe one of your own family. HEY, were out there!! This message came from a motorcycle rider near you!

Thank you,

Lewis County Chapter Motorcycle Safety
